With the increase in our financial support, Alameda Theatre Company will be able to provide more programs for our artists, our youth and our community!
We are so happy to announce that in April 2010 we received news that the Ontario Trillium Foundation accepted and granted Alameda Theatre Company with a three year operating grant. This grant will enable us to build our infrastructure (administrative and human resources) and it will enable us to fortify and continue to develop our artistic programming, our youth outreach program and our community outreach. Please visit our website to learn more about our future programming! Click here! Because of the generosity of the OTF, we will be moving into our new home on June 1, 2010.
